When I bought a new house a couple years ago, I told the realtor: I
will only consider homes where gigabit wired broadband is available
from at least two service providers. When I made an offer, I wrote it
into the contingencies: I would pay for the installation immediately
upon the offer's acceptance but would not close until the installation
was complete and verified.

Personally, I would worry about the resale value of a home which had
neither wired communication services available nor conduit in which
such could trivially be added. But I guess to each his own.
